How cute! I have been wondering what types of letters to use, I never thought to check the cardboard aisle! Too funny, I just bought that polka dot sheet the other day.

These are fantastic! I have been looking for over-sized letters everywhere and haven’t seen them yet. Both Wal-Mart and Michael’s out here only have small wooden ones.

Averill,

Ahh, personalized stationary is fab!! I’m a huge fan of monograms, too, but they make me a little nervous unless I know for sure which initials people are going to be using – I know some people that keep their middle name in lieu of their last name, and I’m one of those people that kept everything and now has 4 initials (I know, of course I had to make it complicated!!). But if you have the monogram nailed down this gift could easily be modified into a monogram, and it would be super cute if you used 2 smaller letters and a larger, middle letter – so many options!

Great idea! I love the idea of giving a newlywed (or newly engaged) their initial or something monogrammed. I tend to give personalized stationery, but this is definitely much friendlier on the pocketbook!

Tonya,

I like the way you’re thinking!! In a wet/humid area like a bathroom, I would definitely recommend adding several layers of polyurethane over your letters, just to make sure that your cute craft paper doesn’t eventually peel off of your letters. Happy crafting!!

Great idea! I especially like the idea of using the leters around the house – I’m thinking “BATH” or “CLEAN” would be too cute in a guest bathroom… Thanks for the idea!!
